ehon,You should be proud and I'm proud of you too! The students' returning to see you again, shows their gratitude and respect for you. The things that you have done for them, made them feel thankful. :)

I totally understand your feeling! I taught my first group of Spanish students this summer and my first group of web design students this spring and I always feel so proud when they come back to show me what they've achieved. Teaching is such a beautiful profession! I'm actually going back to school this fall to become a Spanish teacher,so far I've worked without papers. *lol*

simple american,Yes, I gave my all. And many students and their parents know that. I believe if I do my best and don't expect anything in return, I'll receive more, in terms of my students' achievements. :)
